Team 1: Campsite
Each campsite is cozy, but not too cramped. They are set in the middle of a forested area, and each team's location is clearly marked within the forest. each team's area is far enough away from the all the other teams that only the glow of the light from a camp fire could be seen at a distance. Each campsite is set up with 3 tents around a small fire pit and plenty of wood is around to keep the fire going.
Every site is surrounded by an invisible barrier which is specially created to allow only the members of a respective team into the camp. The barriers are also sound proof, so no one outside can hear what is said inside. Remarkably however, those inside the barrier are able to hear what goes on outside the barrier with perfect clarity. (and yes, air and smells and smoke can move through the barrier as well... so you can breathe and not worry about suffocating on campfire smoke.)
Members in this Campsite
1. Yamatano Hatake (Gregar)
2. Konaga Sai (Cobra_X)
3. Vincent Darko (Elvenstardragon)

 Konaga Shinji
| Konaga Clan | Speed/Offensive Type | Iwagakure | Genin | Making his way tot he forest using the map the scroll contained, Shinji found that it was exactly as the scroll said it would be. Everything was clearly marked and defined from the entrance of the forest to the campsites as he moved into the dense forestry and followed the different painted arrows, which led the way to each Team's campsite. He was intrigued to find out who else would be in his 'team' or whether they teamed certain people with others for any one particular reason or another. Teaming people up by village might have made sense, but then again, he had no one else from Iwa here in the exams, so that wouldn't necessarily work for everyone.
By the time he arrived at his site, he noticed the tents and the open fire pit with wood already stacked in it and he smiled, secretly having wished that traveling had always been this easy. Taking a step forward, Shinji suddenly stopped as he noticed a thick line traced in the ground on the entrance to the campsite and stopped, not daring to breach it. "What?... is this some sort of test?" Quickly snapping off a branch of a tree nearby, Shinji tossed it passed the line, but saw no response at all. Looking at the line quizzically, Shinji reached out his hand, crossing the line only by a millimeter when it let off a shimmering glow, but still allowed his finger to pass through somewhat.
Pulling his back instinctively, he didn't feel any kind of sensation from the barrier, but then again, as a Konaga, even if it had been fire, he would have doubted feeling it. all of this set aside however, Shinji figured that he was clearly summoned here for a reason, and as such, with a deep breath he walked through the barrier, which seemed only to shimmer for effect, allowing him inside without trouble or resistance. 'Well, that was weird..." Figuring the secret of the barrier dome was either irrelevant or something they would learn later, Shinji noted that it was quickly becoming dark, so he moved over to the fire pit, and started a fire using an old piece of flint he carried in his pocket and a kunai.
Not too long later, a roaring fire was burning, illuminating the front of Shinji's body as he sat and stared at the flames, reminiscing how the violent energy of the fire so closely simulated the violent nature of the chakra inside him. Forza had already been removed from it's sheath and thrust into the ground beside him as he brooded over the fire, deep in thought as he waited for the rest of his team to arrive.

Vincent wasn't entirely comfortable with the idea of being with another team but he figured that it would happen eventually that he would be set up with another team as part of his duties. He managed to find the part of the island and the campsite where his team would be and there he found someone from Iwagakure sitting near a burning fire. He remembered seeing a shinobi's name on his scroll and wanted to see if this was that person.
"Hello," He said approaching the shinobi, "Are you Konaga Shinji of Iwagakure?"

 Yamatano raced through the treetops of the great forest, following the vauge map written on the scroll given to him. The instructions had led him to this spot, where he would be paired up with two other shinobi at random. Underneath him, he spotted a campsite with two boys standing in it, in the area that the map told Yamatano to go. Leaping from the branch, Yamatano landed in the middle of the campsite, tucking into a forward roll to absorb the momentum of the fall, and stood up. "Well then, it looks like you two are my teammates. I truly hope we can get along. Could I please know each of your names? Mine is Yamatano." Yamatano said with a smile on his face....though no one could tell, due to his dark blue Kakashi like mask. He knew he would get a lot of questions about himself, mainly his last name which he hadnt revealed, and his village, seeing as he bore a horned headband with the Kanji for "Venom" rather than a traditional headband, but the least these two could do beforehand was to offer their names.

Vincent saw that the third member of their party had arrived and was taken somewhat aback by his appearance but tried to keep himself cool to the situation.
"My name is Vincent Darko," Vincent introduced himself to his teammate, "And I'm hoping that we can get along as well. After all we are in the same boat as far as this next stage of this exam wouldn't you say so?"

Konaga Shinji
| Konaga Clan | Speed/Offensive Type | Iwagakure | Genin | Hearing a familiar sound behind him as he saw the barrier around hi shimmer with the new shinobi's entrance, Shinji turned to meet the boy, quickly noticing his Leaf headband and immediately thinking back to his most recent encounter with Konoha. Just as he was about to respondto his query however, the shimmer fell once again as a much more stylish and eager ninja arrived from above, tucking into a role on impact, only to end standing up in an impressive entrance.
Had he the chance to respond between the action and the man's hasty introduction he would have sooner, but after he stopped, asking for their names, all that came across Shinji's lips was a smile of amusement as he began clapping slowly, almost mockingly, but not quite at the flashy entrance. Not bothering to get up, Shinji stayed hunched over next to the fire, looking up at the other two before finally answering them both, "Nice entrance there friend... a bit over-dramatic, but I suppose it'll do. I guess in the end, overall, you're just a unique person aren't you? Flashy scarf, flashy entrance, flashy headband, and only a first name. I have a feeling I'll like you."
Quickly turning to Vincent, he held up his hand as if to correct his statement quickly... "Not to say that I wouldn't like you or such... but his entrance was much cooler, you have to admit. Anyway, I suppose with all this rambling, I might as well answer the question. Yes, my name is Konaga Shinji, and I am from the Iwagakure. It's nice to meet you both. I figure we might as well get to know each other as best as possible if we're going to be embarking on this next part as a team. Trusting those you work with is a key to success, but knowing what they are capable of in the field is equally as important. Wouldn't you both agree?" he said, finally allowing a chance for the others to speak as the only sound heard after his voice were the soft whispers of the forest life and the crackling fire.

"I quite agree Konaga," Vincent said, "his entrance was a lot cooler than mine but then again I'm not one for dramatic entrances, at least not yet. But still you are right that in order for us to get through this we have to work together and that means we each have to be familiar with each others abilities, right?"

"Indeed, Konaga Shinji, your correct. If we are to perform at our full potential, We should know a little bit about each other. And your also correct Vincent. Were all in the same boat from now on. So lets all help guide it across the ocean that is this exam." Yamatano said, an eager look in his one visible eye. "Well, I suppose for basic combat, My chakra element is Water. I'm not exactly a close range fighter, but I'm quite adept at distance fighting, if I may say so myself." Yamatano sat down and leaned on a stump near the fire, rather than sit on it, and waited for his teammates responses. If he felt that he could trust them.........then MAYBE he would show them his summoning jutsu, his real trump card. (Sorry about the boat puns, that's what happens to you after crewing a sailboat for a week)

Riku Yukimura
The Ice Prince 
Near the camp, Riku wandered aimlessly through the wilderness until he chanced upon a waterfall. He sat beside it atop a smoothened boulder and began to meditate.

"Alright," Vincent took his cue, "For me, my chakra element is fire thus I'm quite adept at Katon Jutsus up through the genin level. I'm also a member of the Uchiha clan thus I have the Sharingan but I only have it to the first tomoe. I also know a little bit of Taijutsu."

Konaga Shinji
| Konaga Clan | Speed/Offensive Type | Iwagakure | Genin | Taking Yamatano's agreement and explanation of himself as a sign of good faith, Shinji responded in kind with his own abilities and talents. "Seems like we'll have a well balanced team, Water and Fire from you two... and perhaps not too surprisingly, given my village's reputation, my primary element is Doton. I can't say I have a preferred range like you do, but what I will say is that I'm not afraid to dive into a fight. I'm fast and I'm furious, and not that it'll make any sense until you see it, but my techniques tend to have much more power behind them then an average ninja."
"For what it's worth, Forza here," Shinji said pointing to his sowrd which was stuxk in the ground, but was still a good foot taller then himself while he sat, "...can absorb different chakras and use them to change the blade's characteristics, but only if the person holding/touching the blade gives their chakra willingly." sighing slightly, Shinji didn't really know how he felt about explaining his bloodline or what it entailed. Even the thought of it sent a slight wave of pain across his body, causing him to wince slightly, but in the end, he didn't feel the need to truly explain what it was to be Konaga... he could just be vague.
"Can't say i know why, but I also have an abundance of chakra... and I seem to be able to wield it in unique ways, enhancing my abilities, but it hurts a lot when i do it." the phrase 'hurts a lot' was of course, an extreme understatement, but trying to explain Konaga levels of pain to anyone else was just useless anyways, so the lacking description would just have to do for now.

"Fascinating weapon," Vincent marveled at the sword thinking that perhaps one day he would have a sword of his own but still there was the task at hand. "So until we can find out more about the tasks for the second stage of this exam all we can do now is wait. Am I right?"

Yamatano listened to Vincent's explination, becoming even more intent on listening when he mentioned his clan, the famed uchiha clan of Konoha, and the Sharingan eyes, Just like LT sensei. "Fascinating..." He thought to himself be fore turning to hear Shinji's explination. With an element of earth and an upfront fighting style, Yamatano didnt like the odds if he was pitted against this guy in the final rounds, but his style would compliment Yamatano's greatly. When he spoke of his ability to enhance things with chakra, Yamatano suddenly grew very interested. "Enhance? You wouldnt mean like this, would you?" Yamatano asked as he pulled one of his red daggers from it's sheath and poured chakra into it. The dagger suddenly gained a coating of white chakra, elongating and sharpening the blade. If this boy could do that........then it wasnt entirely impossible that he was a Hatake as well. After all, he had silver hair, so he might as well try to find out.

Konaga Shinji
| Konaga Clan | Speed/Offensive Type | Iwagakure | Genin | "Well, it's seems like we have an interesting group..." Shinji said, finally rising from his seated position as he rested his hand on the pommel of his blade. Yamatano's technique seemed to be rather interesting, and Shinji didn't doubt the deadliness of the white chakra which licked off the blade. He guessed that in some way, it was similar to his own chakra manipulation, yet wholy different by it's look. "Looks like we all have unique bloodlines, an Uchiha, a Konaga, and one yet to be named. To answer your question however, no. It seems that you're able to project that chakra off of your weapon, which, while I can do so with Forza, I can't do the same with anything else."
"When I say enhance, I mean my body... but you'll excuse me if I don't demonstrate it here and now. as I mentioned before, it hurts... a lot. No doubt you'll see it during the next part of the exams, as I'm sure I'll use it at some point." Though an interesting ability, Yamatano's technique was clearly likened to that of the Konaga clan, but in it's very essence it was completely different. Not knowing anything about it, he doubted that it had the raw power or strength behind it his augmentations had, but none-the-less seemed incredibly unique and interesting. It was clear that he had fallen into a good group of specialized and talented ninja." With the passing of a few silent moments, Shinji realized that he hadn't shown the others the bag, or the scroll with their instructions on it. Taking it out, he offered it to them as it detailed what they were doing.
"The mission is interesting... it's a Scavenger hunt across the 5 Great Nations and the surrounding countries. according to the notes, that scroll which has nothing on it will display a series of Clues which we'll have to use to guide us to the relics. All we need to do is get 5 and get back here... but something tells me it won't be that easy. In all the rules, it makes no mention of HOW to get the relics, so we clearly aren't protected from other groups we run into, which by the rules, would have every right to attack us and take whatever relics they find on us." Giving a few more moments for everything to sink in, Shinji listened to the crackle of the fire for a little longer before inputting his last comment. "And I think we should have a team leader... someone to call the shots, where the others would obey. Every team needs one and without it, we'll be less coordinated, which could lead to disunity and mistakes."

"I would agree Konaga," Vincent spoke up, "We need someone who is level-headed but also combat savvy enough to know the strengths and weaknesses of certain fighters and use them in the best possible combination to achieve victory. Sadly though I am not that person."
